Leimin Tian

Dr. Leimin Tian is a Senior Lecturer at the Robotics Lab of Monash University and a Senior Scientist leading the Human-Robot Interaction Team within the Robotics Group of CSIRO's Data61. His interdisciplinary research bridges Human-Robot Interaction, Human-Centered AI, and Affective Computing, focusing on developing socially intelligent robots capable of emotional perception, decision-making, and collaboration in diverse applications.

• Education:
  • PhD in Informatics (University of Edinburgh, 2018)
  • Master in Artificial Intelligence (University of Edinburgh, 2013)
  • Bachelor in Intelligent Science and Technology (Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, 2012)

His research emphasizes integrating social-emotional intelligence into robotic systems, enabling adaptive interactions through multimodal perception and context-aware decision-making. Key contributions include frameworks for error-tolerant human-robot collaboration and emotion recognition in dynamic environments.

At CSIRO, he leads a robotics team exploring emotionally responsive agents, while at Monash University, he contributes to robotics education and innovation.
